I Built a $20,000 Military Router for $106.23 By Data Slayer “The Military contacted me... I reverse-engineered a $20,000 military IP mesh radio using just $106.23 in open-source parts. This isn't a gimmick—it's a fully functional MANET router capable of push-to-talk, GPS sharing, ATAK integration, and more. In this video, I’ll show you how I built it, tested it, and deployed it in the real world—no subscriptions, no middlemen, just raw decentralized power. Whether you're off-grid, mission-ready, or just sick of Big Tech, this changes everything.” #atak #mesh #meshradio #hamradio #amateurradio #manet

Handy RF line of sight tool for planning radio mesh networks. Plot two points, adjust antenna heights, and check if the path is clear. Shoutout to @TKay for sending me this link.
